Groups of men of Pakistani origin who target and groom children for sex were
condemned yesterday by two leading Islamic scholars.

Giving evidence to MPs, the clerics acknowledged that a disproportionately
large number of Muslim men have featured in recent criminal prosecutions of
street-grooming networks for exploiting young teenage girls.

They spoke of such men dehumanising white girls as “easy meat” and “trash”,
described the revulsion at such abuse that was felt by the law-abiding
majority of British Pakistanis and criticised a “wall of silence” about such
crimes within certain communities.
